World Wide Web’s source code to get auctioned as NFT
World Wide Web’s source code to get auctioned as NFT: The World Wide Web's creator Tim Berners-Lee is auctioning off his invention's source code as an NFT (non-fungible token). Berners-Lee, a London-born computer scientist, invented the World Wide Web in 1989, revolutionising the sharing and creation of information in what is seen as one of the most significant inventions since the printing press appeared in Europe in 15th Century Germany. Berners-Lee’s 1989 invention of the World Wide Web went on to revolutionise how the world creates and shares information. The winning bidder for the World Wide Web source code, tied as NFT, will receive a letter from Tim Berners-Lee “reflecting on the code and the process of creating it.” The original archive of dated and time-stamped files contains the source code, written between October 3, 1990, and August 24, 1991. Approximately 9,555 lines of source code, which include implementations of HTML, HTTP and URIs. Written by Briti
